Sound Issues With Turntable to PowerNode2i
Answered
Hi.
I have a Music Hall MMF 5.3 Turntable and I have it connected to a pre amp through RCAs and then on to my PowerNode2 via Analogue 1 input with a RCA to 3.5mm. I get a very scratchy/distortion noise in the music.
I have tried via Analogue 2 input and the same noise appears.
I put my CD player into Anologue 1 input with a RCA to 3.5mm and the music is fine. Same with Analogue 2 input.
So I hooked up the 3.5mm to my Harmon Kardon Go + Play and it sounds fantastic?
I have had my turntable people look at it and the pre amp and they have set it up to their systems and said its great?
I have an old node which I connected to and the music sounded better but still had some slight distortion.
The turntable I have is a Music Hall MMF 5.3 Turntable with a Bronze cartridge so its not a cheap unit.
Where do I go from here. Rest set the Bluesound, re set the router. I am at the end of the tests I think.
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Pez
As always, the best thing to do in these issues is send our Support Crew a log file by selecting Settings, Send Support Request from the Home page of the App.

Work with support but do make sure there is a good distance between the POWERNODE, the Pre and the turntable. Cartridges and Preamps don’t like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals, switching power supplies or generally any other electrical equipment nearby. Do also make sure the lead is 100% fully pushed in the POWERNODE.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for the come back, will send in a request form and see how we go. 👍
Hey Seppi,
Thanks for the advice, I have a tight space and the pre amp it tucked in next door to the PowerNode. I'll shift it to a different spot and give it a go. Have checked the leads a couple of times but will do it again.
Thx Seppi/Ryan. 😊
Cheers Pez
